  1. My wife seems to beleive it is 10% every year compounded - I think that is nonsense and impossible. Is it 10% over the whole 7 years then ? The banks here are thieves I'm getting 6% in a 1 year fixed currently in the UK. It's a rigged game here without even a nod to true competition.
  2. Biden for the sake of the US and the world should gracefully retire along with Harris and appoint a candidate who can speak in long sentences, smile, looks good is at least 20 years younger and they will walk it. Trump's worst nightmare is Biden going.
  3. https://www.scb.co.th/en/personal-banking/insurance/savings-insurance/triple-seven-77-7.html My wife has come into some money from the sale of her condo and the girl at SCB recommended this life insurance savings product that seems to have a 10% annual return compounded if you stay to full term at 7 years. She doesn't need the life insurance since we are childless and she is 58. Is this too good to be true, is there a catch? My first imperfect understanding is that you have to go to full term to realise this and if you bail out early for any reason you earn nothing (if indeed you can bail out). Any thoughts are most welcome and are there any other alternatives to products such as this which seem to guarantee your capital?
  4. Europe is starting to prepare for a Trump win and reading a lot of articles in broadsheets saying it won't be bad as last time. There will be a team of Republican adults around him who will drive policy and he will be allowed to grandstand and preen without damaging too much. Putin will be happy though. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2023/11/22/liberals-trump-win-leftists-joe-scarborough-horrified/ But Morning Joe is right to worry. Trump has said that he would be the “retribution” for the thousands of people caught up in the Biden administration’s messes. There would be no executions, Joe, but there would be plenty of payback. For many of us, however, that would be a consummation devoutly to be wished. It can’t come soon enough. https://www.ft.com/content/04af82d3-3f21-452b-ae62-86bd8f07e506 But the key point is this: whether you loathe or love Trump, do not underestimate him. He really could win in 2024. Until then, anyone watching, living or investing in the US should watch that Agenda47 website. Especially if it leaves you horrified — and worrying about new variants of “treason and plot”.
  5. They have done so for some time https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/exit-checks-on-passengers-leaving-the-uk/exit-checks-fact-sheet what will be the game changer is the joinging up of the various govermental and banking computers.Big Brother is indeed here and is watching you already.
  6. If the Kennedy fella comes in he could take some of the Dem vote then Trump will be a shoe-in.
  7. It will never happen Britain is more than bust and monies for folks living abroad and forgotten will be nobodies priority. But campaign away if it makes you happy. Indeed, highlighting it will only spark off some eagle-eyed bean counter to work out how to link up bank accounts, home office passport entry/exit to UK and DWP computers to determine residence and then stop any fraudulent claims and even backdate them if thought necessary. You can see some Sir Humphrey shilling 100s of mullions savings to the minister and getting a gong for it. https://www.thenational.scot/news/23903863.dwp-plan-monitor-benefit-claimants-bank-accounts/
  8. That will be the tunnels the City Council build every year that don't work when it floods before they go a-whoring in Walking Street drinking at the Alulah-Ak Bar.
  9. Interesting I had thought it was some Dr No type boiler room operation, but it turns out just to be a rich man's baubie to play with. Must have had some great parties inside off the scale of extravagant.
  10. There's no bad money in Thailand just money and an army that doesn't fight wars or waste that money if you want morality in your economics I suggest you are probably in the wrong country.
  11. The plot thickens it say Cyber Research Centre on the google maps and a search went all the way back !
  12. This place has always intrigued me it looks like an Arab palace, but I've never seen any signs of life. Can anyone shed any light on this ? Arab Palace
  13. Niels Colov has his fingers in many pies and I see him about quite a bit. https://www.facebook.com/NielsColov/
  14. He was/is certainly successful -but his wife and one of his managers is now in prison for sexual trafficking, and he looks a mess.
  15. Hmm, maybe they don't want outsiders playing around with it so is limited to Thai access only. I have tried on another Firefox, Opera and Chrome and same thing for everyone. Any ideas I don't have a Thai VPN.
  16. Many thanks that's what I have trying before but it times out when trying to access it from the UK. I assume it works OK in Thailand ?
  17. My wife has a small parcel of land she bought 20 years ago in Narithawat and wants to look it up on the web and see what the condition currently is with an intention to sell. I understand there is a searchable map with a nominal land office valuation that is used to determine tax due. Has anybody got a link for that as I can't seem to find it through English google. Many thanks in advance for any help anybody can provide.
  18. Bernies Music Bar is always fun and cheap never had a bad night there. All the falang musicians in the area jam there at some point. https://www.facebook.com/BerneyMusicLounge/
  19. Water treatment plant Jomtien that they spent literally billions on - as far as I remember that lies broken and unused.
  20. Add Eco energy Ko Larn to that list ! https://www.pattayamail.com/news/pattaya-islands-solar-energy-pipe-dream-continues-to-draw-scorn-416306
